On March 29, 2019, the Department of Justice announced that it had indicted for the first time two corporate executives for failing to furnish information under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA). The government alleged that the two individuals – executives of companies that imported, distributed and sold dehumidifiers – had failed to timely report known defects in the products to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). In an article published by the New York Law Journal, Jenner & Block Partner Anthony S. Barkow and Associate Danielle Muniz discuss this recent indictment and the sometimes overlooked enforcement capabilities of the CPSC, the federal agency that enforces the CPSA.
